SUMMARY

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an enantiomerically purified agonist of the G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), pharmaceutical compositions comprising an enantiomerically purified SRR G-1, or a derivative thereof, and methods of treating disease states and conditions in subjects in need thereof, and methods of treating disease states and conditions mediated through GPER receptors.

Estrogens mediate multiple complex physiological responses throughout the body. The responses are in turn mediated through the binding of estrogen to receptors. The classical receptors bind steroids, such as estrogen, and are soluble cytoplasmic/nuclear proteins that function as transcription factors. These receptors are known as estrogen receptor alpha and beta (two closely related proteins) that mediate transcriptional activity. GPER is a 7-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor that also binds to estrogen with high affinity (K_(d) ^(˜)6 nM) and mediates rapid cellular responses including cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling, calcium mobilization and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate production.

Diseases whose development, progression, and or response to therapy, may be influenced by endogenous, and/or pharmacologic activation of GPER signaling include cancer (including the prevention of cancer, prevention of the reoccurrence of cancer, and the inhibition of the progression of cancer; and particularly melanoma, pancreatic, lymphomas, uveal melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, breast, reproductive and other hormone-dependent cancers, leukemia, colon cancer, prostate, bladder cancer), reproductive (genito-urological) including endometritis, prostatitis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, bladder control, hormone-related disorders, hearing disorders, cardiovascular conditions including hot flashes and profuse sweating, hypertension, stroke, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, hematologic diseases, vascular diseases or conditions such as venous thrombosis, atherosclerosis, among numerous others and disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system, including depression, insomnia, anxiety, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, as well as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, coeliac (celiac) disease and related disorders of the intestine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Definitions

As used herein, the terms below have the meanings indicated.

Before the present compounds, compositions and methods are described, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the particular processes, formulations, compound, compositions, or methodologies described, as these may vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used in the description is for the purpose of describing the particular versions or embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of embodiments herein which will be limited only by the appended claims. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of embodiments herein, the preferred methods, devices, and materials are now described. All publications mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that embodiments herein are not entitled to antedate such disclosure by virtue of prior invention.

It must also be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

As used herein, the term “about” means plus or minus 20% of the numerical value of the number with which it is being used. Therefore, about 50% means in the range of 40%-60%.

In embodiments or claims where the term “comprising” is used as the transition phrase, such embodiments can also be envisioned with replacement of the term “comprising” with the terms “consisting of” or “consisting essentially of.”

As used herein, the term “consists of” or “consisting of” means that the compound, composition, formulation or the method includes only the elements, steps, or ingredients specifically recited in the particular claimed embodiment or claim.

As used herein, the term “consisting essentially of” or “consists essentially of” means that the compound, composition, formulation or the method includes only the elements, steps or ingredients specifically recited in the particular claimed embodiment or claim and may optionally include additional elements, steps or ingredients that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the particular embodiment or claim. For example, the only active ingredient(s) in the formulation or method that treats the specified condition (e.g., cancer and/or obesity) is the specifically recited therapeutic(s) in the particular embodiment or claim.

As used herein, the term “a derivative thereof” refers to any molecular form of the compound it references, including, but not limited to, a salt thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, an ester thereof, a free base thereof, a solvate thereof, a hydrate thereof, an N-oxide thereof, a clathrate thereof, a prodrug thereof, an isotope thereof (e.g., tritium, deuterium), a co-crystal thereof, and any combination of the foregoing.

Asymmetric centers exist in the compounds disclosed herein. These centers are designated by the symbols “R” or “S,” depending on the configuration of substituents around the chiral carbon atom. It should be understood that the invention encompasses all stereochemical isomeric forms, including diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms, and mixtures thereof. Individual stereoisomers of compounds can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials which contain chiral centers or by preparation of mixtures of enantiomeric products followed by separation such as conversion to a mixture of diastereomers followed by separation or recrystallization, chromatographic techniques, direct separation of enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns, or any other appropriate method known in the art. Starting compounds of particular stereochemistry are either commercially available or can be made and resolved by techniques known in the art. Additionally, the compounds disclosed herein may exist as geometric isomers. The present invention includes all cis, trans, syn, anti, entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. Additionally, compounds may exist as tautomers; all tautomeric isomers are provided by this invention. Additionally, the compounds disclosed herein may exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms.

As used herein, the term “chiral purity” and “enantiomeric excess” (ee) are interchangeable and may refer to the measurement of the absolute difference between the mole fraction of each enantiomer and is most often expressed as a percentage. % Enantiomeric excess may be determined by the formula:

% ee=|A−B|×100

Where A and B are the respective mole fractions of the enantiomers in a mixture such that A+B=1. A racemic mixture has an enantiomeric excess of 0%, while a single completely pure enantiomer has an enantiomeric excess of 100%. As an example, a sample with 70% of R isomer and 30% of S will have an enantiomeric excess of 40%. This can also be thought of as a mixture of 40% pure R with 60% of a racemic mixture (which contributes 30% R and 30% S to the overall composition).

The term “substantially free” as used herein, alone or in combination, refers to the absence of isomers within the limits of quantitation of analytical methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), circular dichroism (CD), or other methods of chemical analysis.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” is meant to indicate those salts or co-crystals which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of a patient without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. (1977) J. Pharm. Sciences, Vol. 6, 1-19, describes representative pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail. A pharmaceutical acceptable “salt” is any acid addition salt or co-crystal, preferably a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt or co-crystal, including, but not limited to, halogenic acid salts such as hydrobromic, hydrochloric, hydrofloric and hydroiodic acid salt; an inorganic acid salt such as, for example, nitric, perchloric, sulfuric and phosphoric acid salt; an organic acid salt such as, for example, sulfonic acid salts (methanesulfonic, trifluoromethan sulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic or p-toluenesufonic), acetic, malic, fumaric, succinic, citric, benzonic gluconic, lactic, mandelic, mucic, pamoic, pantothenic, oxalic and maleic acid salts; and an amino acid salt such as aspartic or glutamic acid salt, benzenesulfonic, (+)-(1S)-camphor-10-sulfonic, ethane-1,2-disulfonic, hydrochloric, methanesulfonic, naphthalene-2-sulfonic, naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic, sulfuric, and p-toluenesulfonic acid. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be a mono- or di-acid addition salt, such as a di-hydrohalogic, di-sulfuric, di-phosphoric or di-organic acid salt. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt is used as a chiral or achiral reagent which is not required to be selected on the basis of any expected or known preference for the interaction with or precipitation of a specific optical isomer of the products of this disclosure.

The term “therapeutically acceptable salt,” as used herein, represents salts or co-crystals or zwitterionic forms of the compounds disclosed herein which are water or oil-soluble or dispersible and therapeutically acceptable as defined herein. The salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting the appropriate compound in the form of the free base with a suitable acid or by substituting one salt for an therapeutic acceptable salt. Representative acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, L-ascorbate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate (besylate), bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, digluconate, formate, fumarate, gentisate, glutarate, glycerophosphate, glycolate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hippurate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethansulfonate (isethionate), lactate, maleate, malonate, DL-mandelate, mesitylenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, naphthylenesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylproprionate, phosphonate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, pyroglutamate, succinate, sulfonate, tartrate, L-tartrate, trichloroacetate, trifluoroacetate, phosphate, glutamate, bicarbonate, para-toluenesulfonate (p-tosylate), and undecanoate. Also, basic groups in the compounds disclosed herein can be quaternized with methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides; dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates; decyl, lauryl, myristyl, and steryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides; and benzyl and phenethyl bromides. Examples of acids which can be employed to form therapeutically acceptable addition salts include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, and phosphoric, and organic acids such as oxalic, maleic, succinic, and citric. Hence, the present invention contemplates sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium salts of the compounds disclosed herein, and the like.

As used herein, the term “patient” and “subject” are interchangeable and may be taken to mean any living organism, which may be treated with compounds of the present invention. As such, the terms “patient” and “subject” may include, but is not limited to, any non-human mammal, primate or human. In some embodiments, the “patient” or “subject” is an adult, child, infant, or fetus. In some embodiments, the “patient” or “subject” is a human. In some embodiments, the “patient” or “subject” is a mammal, such as mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, swine, cattle, sheep, horses, primates, or humans.

The terms “therapeutically effective amount” or “therapeutic dose” is used herein are interchangeable and may refer to the amount of an active agent or pharmaceutical compound or composition that elicits a clinical, biological or medicinal response in a tissue, system, animal, individual or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinical professional. A clinical, biological or medical response may include, for example, one or more of the following: (1) preventing a disease, condition or disorder in an individual that may be predisposed to the disease, condition or disorder but does not yet experience or display pathology or symptoms of the disease, condition or disorder, (2) inhibiting a disease, condition or disorder in an individual that is experiencing or displaying the pathology or symptoms of the disease, condition or disorder or arresting further development of the pathology and/or symptoms of the disease, condition or disorder, and (3) ameliorating a disease, condition or disorder in an individual that is experiencing or exhibiting the pathology or symptoms of the disease, condition or disorder or reversing the pathology and/or symptoms experienced or exhibited by the individual.

The terms “administer,” “administering” or “administration” as used herein refer to either directly administering a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound or a composition to a subject.

The term “treating” may be taken to mean prophylaxis of a specific disorder, disease or condition, alleviation of the symptoms associated with a specific disorder, disease or condition and/or prevention of the symptoms associated with a specific disorder, disease or condition. In some embodiments, the term refers to slowing the progression of the disorder, disease or condition or alleviating the symptoms associated with the specific disorder, disease or condition. In some embodiments, the term refers to alleviating the symptoms associated with the specific disorder, disease or condition. In some embodiments, the term refers to alleviating the symptoms associated with the specific disorder, disease or condition. In some embodiments, the term refers to restoring function which was impaired or lost due to a specific disorder, disorder or condition.

The term “preventing” may be taken to mean to prevent a specific disorder, disease or condition and/or prevent the reoccurrence of a specific disorder, disease or condition.

The term “unit dosage form” refers to physically discrete units suitable as a unitary dosage for human subjects and other animals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.

The term “disease” as used herein is intended to be generally synonymous, and is used interchangeably with, the terms “disorder,” “syndrome,” and “condition” (as in medical condition), in that all reflect an abnormal condition of the human or animal body or of one of its parts that impairs normal functioning, is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms, and causes the human or animal to have a reduced duration or quality of life.

The term “combination therapy” means the administration of two or more therapeutic agents to treat a medical condition or disorder described in the present disclosure. Such administration encompasses co-administration of these therapeutic agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule, or dosage presentation, having a fixed ratio of active ingredients or in multiple, separate capsules for each active ingredient. In addition, such administration also encompasses use of each type of therapeutic agent in a sequential manner in the same patient, with delivery of the individual therapeutics separated by 1-24 hours, 1-7 days, or 1 or more weeks. In either case, the treatment regimen will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination in treating the conditions or disorders described herein.

Compounds

Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e. they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). For a given chemical structure, these compounds, called stereoisomers, are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric or racemic mixture.

Stereochemical purity is of importance in the field of pharmaceuticals, where 8 of the 10 most prescribed drugs exhibit chirality. A case in point is provided by the S-enantiomer of the β-adrenergic blocking agent, propranolol, which is known to be 100 times more potent than the R-enantiomer.

A catalytic amount of Sc(OTf)₃ (0.492 g, 1.0 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (2.0 cm³) was added to the mixture of 6-bromopiperonal (2.30 g, 10.0 mmol), p-aminoacetophenone (1.30 g, 10.0 mmol) and cyclopentadiene (3.30 g, 50.0 mmol) in acetonitrile (25 cm³). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature (˜23° C.) for 2.0 h. The volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative silica gel column chromatography using ethyl acetate-hexanes (10:90) to provide G-1 (4.03 g, 98%, d.r.=94:6) as a white solid. The minor diastereomer was substantially removed by recrystallization to yield a racemic mixture of SRR G-1 and RSS G-1.

Example 1: Isolation of the SRR G-1 and RSS G-1 Enantiomers

Starting with a highly purified sample of G-1, (±)1-(4-(6-bromobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-(3 aS*,4R*,9bR*)-tetrahydro-3H-cyclopenta[c]quinolin-8-yl)ethan-1-one, (99.4% purity) purchased from Tocris Bioscience, the material was dissolved in 90:10:0.1(v/v/v) methyl tert-butyl ether/ethanol/diethyl amine and subjected to preparative chromatography using a column packed with Chrialpak 1A resin. Elution was conducted with 90:10:0.1(v/v/v) methyl tert-butyl ether/ethanol/diethyl amine and the fractions corresponding to each enantiomer were collected and connected to a solid. The early eluting enantiomer was determined to be the SRR G-1 enantiomer by single crystal x-ray structural analysis.

Example 2: SRR G-1 Polymorph Screen

Starting with SRR G-1 prepared according to Example 1, a polymorph screening study was conducted analyzing the solids isolated from slurry of the solid, or from fast and slow evaporation and cooling of solutions (Table 1). Two crystal forms were identified, an anhydrous form designated Form A and mono dichloromethane solvate designated Form B. On exposure to elevated temperature the Form B crystal form desolvates to form the Form C crystal form. Amorphous material was generated from purified SRR G-1 by two different methods; quick evaporating a diethyl ether solution of SRR G-1 or rotary evaporating from a solution of a dichloromethane solution of SRR G-1.

Single Crystal Structure Determination of SRR G-1 (Form B)

Starting with SRR G-1 prepared according to Example 1, a suitable single crystal was grown from dichlormethane solution and analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The structure was determined successfully.

A single crystal was generated from a solution of dichloromethane after an evaporative step. A colorless plate having approximate dimensions of 0.19×0.14×0.03 mm³, was mounted on a polymer loop in random orientation. Preliminary examination and data collection were performed on a Rigaku SuperNova diffractometer, equipped with a copper anode microfocus sealed X-ray tube (Cu Kα λ=1.54184 Å) and a Dectris Pilatus3 R 200K hybrid pixel array detector. Cell constants and an orientation matrix for data collection were obtained from least-squares refinement using the setting angles of 6979 reflections in the range 3.4920°<θ<77.1910°. The space group was determined by the program CRYSALISPRO to be P212121 (international tables no. 19). The data were collected to a maximum diffraction angle (2θ) of 155.132° at room temperature.

Frames were integrated with CRYSALISPRO. A total of 10119 reflections were collected, of which 4368 were unique. Lorentz and polarization corrections were applied to the data. The linear absorption coefficient is 5.144 mm⁻¹ for Cu Kα radiation. An empirical absorption correction using CRYSALISPRO was applied. Transmission coefficients ranged from 0.676 to 1.000. Intensities of equivalent reflections were averaged. The agreement factor for the averaging was 3.4% based on intensity.

The structure was solved by direct methods using S_(HELXT). The remaining atoms were located in succeeding difference Fourier syntheses. The structure was refined using S_(HELXL)-2014. Hydrogen atoms on SRR G-1 were refined independently. The dichloromethane hydrogen atoms were included in the refinement but restrained to ride on the atom to which they are bonded. The structure was refined in full-matrix least-squares by minimizing the function:

Σw(|F _(o)|² −|F _(c)|²)²

where the weight, w, is defined as 1/[σ²(Fo2)+(0.0464 P)²+(0.1905 P)], where P=(Fo2+2Fc2)/3. Scattering factors were taken from the “International Tables for Crystallography”. Of the 4368 reflections used in the refinements, only the reflections with intensities larger than twice their uncertainty [I>2σ(I)], 4071, were used in calculating the fit residual, R. The final cycle of refinement included 334 variable parameters, 0 restraints, and converged with respective unweighted and weighted agreement factors of:

R=Σ|F _(o) −F _(c) |/ΣF _(o)=0.0348

R _(w)=√{square root over ((Σ_(w)(F _(o) ² −F _(c) ²)² /Σw(F _(o) ²)²))}=0.0905

The standard deviation of an observation of unit weight (goodness of fit) was 1.07. The highest peak in the final difference Fourier had an electron density of 0.398 e/Å³. The minimum negative peak had a value of −0.438 e/Å³.

Calculated X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) Pattern. A calculated XRPD pattern was generated for Cu radiation using MERCURY and the atomic coordinates, space group, and unit cell parameters from the single crystal structure. Atomic Displacement Ellipsoid and Packing Diagrams. The atomic displacement ellipsoid diagram was prepared using MERCURY. Atoms are represented by 50% probability anisotropic thermal ellipsoids. Packing diagrams and additional figures were generated with MERCURY. Hydrogen bonding is represented as dashed lines. Assessment of chiral centers was performed with PLATON. Absolute configuration is evaluated using the specification of molecular chirality rules.

The crystal system is orthorhombic and the space group is P2₁2₁2₁. The cell parameters and calculated volume are: a=6.43156(10) Å, b=13.0752(2) Å, c=25.2941(4) Å, α=90°, β=90°, γ=90°, V=2127.09(6) Å³. Standard uncertainty is written in crystallographic parenthesis notation, e.g. 0.123(4) is equivalent to 0.123±0.004. The formula weight is 497.20 g mol⁻¹ with Z=4, resulting in a calculated density of 1.553 g cm⁻³. Further details of the crystal data and crystallographic data collection parameters are summarized in Table 2. The quality of the structure obtained is high, as indicated by the fit residual, R, of 0.0348 (3.48%). R-factors in the range 2%-6% are quoted to be the most reliably determined structures.

An atomic displacement ellipsoid drawing of SSR G-1 dichloromethane solvate is shown in FIG. 1. The molecule observed in the asymmetric unit of the single crystal structure is consistent with the proposed molecular structure of the SSR enantiomer. The asymmetric unit shown in FIG. 1 contains one SSR G-1 molecule and one dichloromethane molecule.

Packing diagrams viewed along the a, b, and c crystallographic axes are shown in FIGS. 2-4 respectively. Hydrogen bonding from the amine to the carbonyl on adjacent molecules results in a one dimensional hydrogen bond network along the b axis, shown in FIG. 5.

The absolute structure can be determined through an analysis of anomalous X-ray scattering by the crystal. Anomalous scattering is assessed through the intensity differences between Friedel pairs. For the reflection data measured up to θ_(max) the Friedel coverage was 95%. A refined parameter x, known as the Flack parameter, encodes the relative abundance of the two components in an inversion twin. The structure contains a fraction 1−x of the model being refined, and x of its inverse. Provided that a low standard uncertainty is obtained, the Flack parameter should be close to 0 if the solved structure is correct, and close to 1 if the inverse model is correct. The measured Flack parameter for the structure of SSR G-1 dichloromethane solvate shown in FIG. 1 is −0.018 with a standard uncertainty of 0.013, which indicates strong inversion-distinguishing power.

Additional information regarding the absolute structure can be assessed by applying Bayesian statistics to Bijvoet differences. This analysis provides a series of probabilities for different hypotheses of the absolute structure. This analysis results in the Hooft y parameter, which is interpreted in the same fashion as the Flack x parameter. In addition, this analysis results in three probabilities that the absolute structure is either correct, incorrect or a racemic twin. For the current data set the (Flack equivalent) Hooft y parameter is −0.020(11), the probability that the structure is correct is 1.000, and the probability that the structure is either incorrect or a racemic twin are both less than 10⁻²⁰⁰.

The absolute configuration is labeled in FIG. 6. This is consistent with the configuration of SRR G-1.

FIG. 7 shows a calculated XRPD pattern of SRR G-1 dichloromethane solvate, generated from the single crystal structure. The calculated XRPD pattern is identical to that assigned to bulk samples identified as displaying the Form B XRPD pattern in the polymorph screening study summarized in Table 1.

Tables of positional parameters and their estimated standard deviations, anisotropic displacement factor coefficients, bond distances, bond angles, hydrogen bonds and angles, and torsion angles are shown.

Starting with SRR G-1 prepared according to Example 1, a suitable single crystal of the Form A crystal form was grown from isopropanol solution and analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The structure was determined successfully. A single crystal x-ray analysis was conducted on a colorless plate having approximate dimensions of 0.203×0.137×0.033 mm³, was mounted on a polymer loop in random orientation. Preliminary examination and data collection were performed on a Rigaku SuperNova diffractometer, equipped with a copper anode microfocus sealed X-ray tube (Cu Kα λ=1.54184 Å) and a Dectris Pilatus3 R 200K hybrid pixel array detector. Cell constants and an orientation matrix for data collection were obtained from least-squares refinement using the setting angles of 9009 reflections in the range 4.7640°<θ<77.3860°. The space group was determined by the program CRYSALISPRO to be P2₁2₁2₁. The data were collected to a maximum diffraction angle (2θ) of 155.264° at room temperature.

Frames were integrated with CRYSALISPRO. A total of 17299 reflections were collected, of which 7561 were unique. Lorentz and polarization corrections were applied to the data. The linear absorption coefficient is 3.206 mm⁻¹ for Cu Kα radiation. An empirical absorption correction using CRYSALISPRO was applied. Transmission coefficients ranged from 0.733 to 1.000. Intensities of equivalent reflections were averaged. The agreement factor for the averaging was 2.74% based on intensity.

The structure was solved by direct methods using S_(HELXT). The remaining atoms were located in succeeding difference Fourier syntheses. The structure was refined using S_(HELXL)-2014. Hydrogen atoms were refined independently. The structure was refined in full-matrix least-squares by minimizing the function:

Σw(|F _(o)|² −|F _(c)|²)²

where the weight, w, is defined as 1/[σ²(F_(o) ²)+(0.0401 P)²+(0.3205 P)], where P=(F_(o) ²+2F_(c) ²)/3. Scattering factors were taken from the “International Tables for Crystallography”. Of the 7561 reflections used in the refinements, only the reflections with intensities larger than twice their uncertainty [I>2σ(I)], 6752, were used in calculating the fit residual, R. The final cycle of refinement included 613 variable parameters, 0 restraints, and converged with respective unweighted and weighted agreement factors of:

R=Σ|F _(o) −F _(c) |/ΣF _(o)=0.0325

R _(w)=√{square root over ((Σ_(w)(F _(o) ² −F _(c) ²)² /Σw(F _(o) ²)²))}=0.0813

The standard deviation of an observation of unit weight (goodness of fit) was 1.04. The highest peak in the final difference Fourier had an electron density of 0.319 e/Å³. The minimum negative peak had a value of −0.454 e/Å³.

The crystal system is orthorhombic and the space group is P2₁2₁2₁. The cell parameters and calculated volume are: a=6.50106(9) Å, b=17.3547(2) Å, c=32.6957(4) Å, α=90°, β=90°, γ=90°, V=3688.85(9) Å³. The molecular weight is 412.27 g mol⁻¹ with Z=8, resulting in a calculated density of 1.485 g cm⁻³. Further details of the crystal data and crystallographic data collection parameters are summarized in Table 9. An atomic displacement ellipsoid drawing of Form A is shown in FIG. 8. The asymmetric unit shown contains two enantiopure SRR G-1 molecules. From the structure, the absolute configuration was determined conclusively. SRR G-1 contains three chiral centers located at C114 (C214), C113 (C213), and C19 (C29) which bond in the R, S, and R configuration, respectively. A calculated XRPD pattern of Form A, generated from the single crystal structure, is provided in FIG. 9 and compared to the experimental pattern.

Example 3: Form and Polymorph Data

SRR G-1 forms two distinctive polymorphs, Forms A and C; a solvate, Form B; as well as amorphous material. The XRPD patterns for the crystalline forms are compared in FIG. 10. Form B is a mono DCM solvate that desolvates to Form C upon exposure to elevated temperatures between 100 and 120° C. Form C, the desolvate, exhibits a melt onset near 129° C. Form A is the thermodynamically stable form at all temperatures (monotropically related to Form C) and exhibits a melt onset near 178° C. Amorphous material is not physically stable and crystallizes to Form A upon exposure to either elevated temperature or humidity. The forms are discussed in more detail in subsequent sections below.

Crystalline Form A

Form A is anhydrous with a melt onset near 178° C. Form A is thermodynamically the most stable form, relative, monotropically, to Form C.

Thermograms of Form A are shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) data shows no weight loss up to 266° C., consistent with an anhydrous form. The DSC exhibits a single endotherm with an onset near 176° C. (68 J/g). The event was visually confirmed on a hot plate as a melt. Discoloration, likely due to decomposition, was noted upon melting.

The Dynamic Vapor Sorption isotherm for Form A indicates the form exhibits low hygroscopicity (FIG. 12). The weight change through the sorption/desorption cycle was less than 0.3% weight. Hysteresis was not observed. The material recovered from the Dynamic Vapor Sorption experiment was Form A by XRPD.

Crystalline Form B

Form B is monodichloromethane solvate generated routinely as a mixture with Form C (desolvated form) from DCM. Form B will desolvate fully to Form C when exposed to temperatures between 100 and 120° C.

The single crystal structure for Form B is known. The crystal system is orthorhombic and the space group is P2₁2₁2₁. The cell parameters and calculated volume are: a=6.43156(10) Å, b=13.0752(2) Å, c=25.2941(4) Å, α=90°, β=90°, γ=90°, V=2127.09(6) Å³. The formula weight is 497.20 g mol⁻¹ with Z=4, resulting in a calculated density of 1.553 g cm⁻³. The asymmetric unit contains one enantiopure SRR G-1 molecule and one dichloromethane molecule. The structure contains three chiral centers located at C8, C9, and C13 (refer to FIG. 13) which bond in the R, S, and R configuration, respectively. A calculated XRPD pattern of Form B, generated from the single crystal structure, is provided in FIG. 14 and compared to the experimental pattern.

The thermograms for Form B are shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B. The Thermogravametric Analysis (TGA) curve exhibits a weight loss of approximately 15.3% up to 177° C., consistent with the volatilization of 0.9 mol/mol DCM. The loss occurs concurrently with a desolvation endotherm (max 104° C.) and recrystallization exotherm (max 140° C.) in the DSC thermogram. The recrystallized material exhibits a final melt endotherm with an onset near 176° C. consistent with the melt of Form A. The DSC thermogram for the mixture of Forms B and C is provided in FIGS. 16A and 16B. The mixture exhibits a desolvation endotherm (max 101° C.) followed by the melt endotherm (onset near 128° C.) of the desolvated form, Form C.

The physical stability of Form B was investigated. Complete desolvation to Form C occurred upon exposure to 120° C. Almost complete desolvation was evident upon exposure to 90 to 100° C. for 25 minutes. Vacuum at 70° C. (or below) was not sufficient for desolvation to occur.

Crystalline Form C

Form C is a desolvate with a melt onset near 129° C. generated through the desolvation of Form B (mono DCM solvate).

The XRPD pattern of Form C was successfully indexed, suggesting it is composed of a single crystalline phase (FIG. 17). Assuming the chemical composition is correct, it has an orthorhombic unit cell containing four molecules of SRR G-1. Consequently, the formula unit volume of 462.88 Å³ calculated from the indexing results would be consistent with an anhydrous form with a calculated density of 1.479 g cm⁻³.

The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermogram for Form C is shown in FIG. 18. The DSC exhibits a single endotherm with an onset near 129° C. (23 J/g). The event was visually confirmed on a hot plate as a melt.

Amorphous

The physical stability of amorphous material generated from purified SRR G-1 was investigated. Amorphous material crystallized to Form A upon exposure to either elevated temperature (within 4 days at 60° C.) or humidity (within 12 days at 75% RH). This indicates that amorphous material is not stable at the conditions evaluated.

Relative Thermodynamic Stability of the Crystalline Forms

Phase transitions of solids can be thermodynamically reversible or irreversible. Crystalline forms which transform reversibly at a specific transition temperature are called enantiotropic polymorphs. If the crystalline forms are not interconvertible under these conditions, the system is monotropic (one thermodynamically stable form). Several rules help predict the relative thermodynamic stability of polymorphs and whether the relationship between the polymorphs is enantiotropic or monotropic. The density and heat of fusion rules, justified on a statistical mechanical basis, are used here for guidance of monotropy or enantiotropy.

The density rule, which is based on Kita{hacek over (i)}gorodski{hacek over (i)}'s principle of closest packing for molecular crystals, states that, for a non-hydrogen-bonded system at absolute zero, the most stable polymorph will have the highest density, because of stronger intermolecular van der Waals interactions. Thus, according to this rule, the crystal structure with most efficient packing will also have the lowest free energy. This assumes that hydrogen bonding (long range effect) is not a major parameter in crystal packing. The densities determined from the single crystal structure of Form A and indexing results of Form C suggest that, at absolute zero, Form A is more stable than Form C (1.485 and 1.479 g cm³, respectively).

The melt onsets and heats of fusion, obtained from calorimetry data, are useful to estimate the relative physical stabilities of the forms at all temperatures (FIGS. 11A, 11B, and 18). From the heat of fusion rule, two forms are enantiotropic if the higher melting form has the lower heat of fusion, otherwise they are monotropic. The density and heat of fusion rules for this system appear consistent with a monotropic relationship.

Interconversion experiments were performed to experimentally test the thermodynamic relationship between Forms A and C. Interconversion or competitive slurry experiments are a solution-mediated process that provides a pathway for the less soluble (more stable) crystal to grow at the expense of the more soluble crystal form. Outside the formation of a solvate or degradation, the resulting more stable polymorph from an interconversion experiment is independent of the solvent used because the more thermodynamically stable polymorph has a lower energy and therefore lower solubility. The choice of solvent affects the kinetics of polymorph conversion and not the thermodynamic relationship between polymorphic forms. Saturated solutions were generated and then added to mixtures composed of approximately equivalent quantities of the two polymorphs. The samples were slurried for nine days and the solids harvested and analyzed by XRPD. The results of the interconversion studies confirm Form A is thermodynamically more stable at room temperature relative to Form C. The experimentally determined relative stability at room temperature, the suggested relative stability at absolute zero based on the density rule, and monotropism as determined by the heat of fusion rule all imply that Form A is more stable than Form C at any temperature.

The XRPD patterns are shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20. No form change was observed for the compound in all the pH buffers after 24 hrs. The solubility at pH 2.0˜8.0 for SRR G-1 was less than 0.72 μg/mL.

The results were summarized in Table 15 and FIG. 21. The XRPD patterns of the wetcake are shown in FIGS. 22-24. No form change was observed for the sample after 1, 2, 4 and 24 hrs in the three bio-relevant media. The highest solubility of SRR G-1 was observed in FeSSIF (˜0.037 mg/mL).

The pKa, Log D_(7.4) and Log P of compound SRR G-1 were predicted by MarvinSketch 5.6.0.2, the results showed the pKa of SRR G-1 is 1.90 (base, pH range of 0˜14), Log D_(7.4) is 5.32 and Log P is 5.32. A pKa titration test showed that no pKa value was observed in the range of 3˜11, which was consistent with the prediction result. Log D_(7.4) was measured with the solvent systems of pH 7.4 phosphate buffer and n-octanol by shake-flask method. Detailed results of Log D_(7.4) and Log P were displayed in Table 16. Since the solubility of SRR G-1 freebase in aqueous phase was lower than <0.82 μg/mL, the Log D_(7.4) was determined to be >3.22 and Log P was >3.22 considering the small pKa value.

Instrumental Techniques Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

DSC was performed using a Mettler-Toledo DSC3+ or DSC822e differential scanning calorimeter. A tau lag adjustment is performed with indium, tin, and zinc. The temperature and enthalpy are adjusted with octane, phenyl salicylate, indium, tin and zinc. The adjustment is then verified with octane, phenyl salicylate, indium, tin, and zinc. The sample was placed into a hermetically sealed aluminum DSC pan, and the weight was accurately recorded. The pan was then inserted into the DSC cell. A weighed aluminum pan configured as the sample pan was placed on the reference side of the cell. The pan lid was pierced prior to sample analysis. Samples were analyzed from −30° C. to 250° C. @ 10°/min. The cyclic DSC method heated from −30° C. to 100° C., returned to −30° C., then heated to 250° C. at 10°/min.

Dynamic Vapor Sorption/Desorption (DVS)

Moisture sorption/desorption data were collected on a VTI SGA-100 Vapor Sorption Analyzer. NaCl and PVP were used as calibration standards. Samples were not dried prior to analysis. Sorption and desorption data were collected over a range from 5% to 95% RH at 10% RH increments under a nitrogen purge. The equilibrium criterion used for analysis was less than 0.0100% weight change in 5 minutes with a maximum equilibration time of 3 hours. Data were not corrected for the initial moisture content of the samples.

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

Thermogravimetric analysis was performed using a Mettler-Toledo TGA/DSC3 analyzer. Temperature and enthalpy adjustments were performed using indium, tin, and zinc, and then verified with indium. The balance was verified with calcium oxalate. The sample was placed in an open aluminum pan. The pan was hermetically sealed, the lid pierced, then inserted into the TG furnace. A weighed aluminum pan configured as the sample pan was placed on the reference platform. The furnace was heated under nitrogen. Each sample was heated from ambient temperature to 350° C. at 10° C./min. Although thermograms are plotted by reference temperature (x-axis), results are reported according to sample temperatures.

X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD)

XRPD pattern was collected with a PANalytical X'Pert PRO MPD or PANalytical Empyrean diffractometer using an incident beam of Cu radiation produced using a long, fine-focus source. An elliptically graded multilayer mirror was used to focus Cu Kα X-rays through the specimen and onto the detector. Prior to the analysis, a silicon specimen (NIST SRM 640e) was analyzed to verify the observed position of the Si 111 peak is consistent with the NIST-certified position. A specimen of the sample was sandwiched between 3-μm-thick films and analyzed in transmission geometry. A beam-stop, short antiscatter extension, and antiscatter knife edge were used to minimize the background generated by air. Soller slits for the incident and diffracted beams were used to minimize broadening and asymmetry from axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position-sensitive detector (X'Celerator) located 240 mm from the specimen and Data Collector software v. 2.2b or 5.5.

Example 4: Salt Data

Crystalline and anhydrous SRR G-1 besylate, camsylate, and napsylate salts were successfully isolated. All three were obtained as 1:1 stoichiometric salts. For these, seeding was crucial in providing high yields of crystalline salts that were not discolored. The XRPD patterns of the salts are compared with freebase Form A in FIG. 25. Scale-up and characterization of the salts are described in more detail in subsequent sections below.

SRR G-1 Besylate Form A

SRR G-1 Besylate Form A is an anhydrous 1:1 stoichiometric salt with an apparent melt onset near 186° C. Disproportionation of the salt in water was not evident.

The single-crystal structure of SRR G-1 Besylate Form A was determined successfully. Thus colorless needle having approximate dimensions of 0.23×0.09×0.04 mm³, was mounted on a polymer loop in random orientation. Preliminary examination and data collection were performed on a Rigaku SuperNova diffractometer, equipped with a copper anode microfocus sealed X-ray tube (Cu Kα λ=1.54184 Å) and a Dectris Pilatus3 R 200K hybrid pixel array detector. Cell constants and an orientation matrix for data collection were obtained from least-squares refinement using the setting angles of 13177 reflections in the range 4.2570°<θ<77.0580°. The space group was determined by the program CRYSALISPRO to be P2₁. The data were collected to a maximum diffraction angle (2θ) of 155.242° at room temperature.

Frames were integrated with CRYSALISPRO. A total of 26894 reflections were collected, of which 10520 were unique. Lorentz and polarization corrections were applied to the data. The linear absorption coefficient is 3.323 mm⁻¹ for Cu Kα radiation. An empirical absorption correction using CRYSALISPRO was applied. Transmission coefficients ranged from 0.837 to 1.000. Intensities of equivalent reflections were averaged. The agreement factor for the averaging was 3.3% based on intensity.

The structure was solved by direct methods using S_(HELXT). The remaining atoms were located in succeeding difference Fourier syntheses. The structure was refined using S_(HELXL)-2014. Hydrogen atoms were refined independently. The structure was refined in full-matrix least-squares by minimizing the function:

Σw(|F _(o)|² −|F _(c)|²)²

where the weight, w, is defined as 1/[σ²(F_(o) ²)+(0.0401 P)²+(0.3205 P)], where P=(F_(o) ²+2F_(c) ²)/3. Scattering factors were taken from the “International Tables for Crystallography”. Of the 10520 reflections used in the refinements, only the reflections with intensities larger than twice their uncertainty [I>2σ(I)], 9411, were used in calculating the fit residual, R. The final cycle of refinement included 723 variable parameters, 1 restraint, and converged with respective unweighted and weighted agreement factors of:

R=Σ|F _(o) −F _(c) |/ΣF _(o)=0.0348

R _(w)=√{square root over ((Σ_(w)(F _(o) ² −F _(c) ²)² /Σw(F _(o) ²)²))}=0.0874

The standard deviation of an observation of unit weight (goodness of fit) was 1.05. The highest peak in the final difference Fourier had an electron density of 0.311 e/Å³. The minimum negative peak had a value of −0.280 e/Å³.

The crystal system is monoclinic and the space group is P2₁. The cell parameters and calculated volume are: a=14.1207(3) Å, b=8.74139(11) Å, c=21.5361(4) Å, α=90°, β=106.1889(19°), γ=90°, V=2552.89(8) Å³. The formula weight is 570.44 g mol⁻¹ with Z=4, resulting in a calculated density of 1.484 g cm⁻³. Further details of the crystal data and crystallographic data collection parameters are summarized in Table 17. An atomic displacement ellipsoid drawing of Besylate Form A is shown in FIG. 26. The asymmetric unit shown contains two SRR G-1 cations and two besylate anions. The —SO₃ moiety was modeled with rotational disorder on both anions. A calculated XRPD pattern generated for Cu radiation using MERCURY and the atomic coordinates, space group, and unit cell parameters from the single crystal structure is provided in FIG. 27 and compared to the experimental pattern.

The solution ¹H NMR spectrum is consistent with a 1:1 stoichiometric salt of SRR G-1 and benzenesulfonic acid. Residual solvent is not evident, consistent with an unsolvated form.

Thermograms of SRR G-1 Besylate Form A are provided in FIGS. 28A and 28B. Negligible weight loss up to 186° C. is evident by TGA, consistent with an anhydrous form. The DSC exhibits a sharp endotherm with an onset near 186° C. The event is likely due to a melt concurrent with decomposition. A small endotherm near 164° C. is also evident. The nature of this endotherm is unknown.

The possibility of disproportionation in water was investigated. SRR G-1 Besylate Form A was slurried in water for 4 days. The excess solids were recovered and reanalyzed by XRPD for evidence of freebase or benzenesulfonic acid. The recovered material was SRR G-1 Besylate Form A, indicating that disproportionation did not occur under the condition evaluated.

The following describes a 1-gram scale procedure for generating SRR G-1 Besylate Form A. A molar equivalent, 0.50 g, of benzenesulfonic acid monohydrate was added to a vessel containing 1.17 g of SRR G-1 freebase Form A. In addition, a small quantity of SRR G-1 Besylate Form A was added as seeds. Ethyl acetate, 7 mL, was added and followed by sonication. A predominant portion of the solids dissolved, resulting in a yellow solution, but was immediately followed by precipitation of white solids. An additional 3 mL of ethyl acetate was added to facilitate slurry transfer and filtration. The solids were recovered by vacuum filtration and rinsed with 4 mL of ethyl acetate followed by vacuum at room temperature overnight. Approximately 0.99 grams of SRR G-1 Besylate Form A was obtained.

SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A

SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A is an anhydrous 1:1 stoichiometric salt with an apparent melt onset of 172° C.

The XRPD pattern of SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A was successfully indexed, suggesting it is composed primarily of a single crystalline phase (FIG. 29). SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A has a triclinic unit cell that can accommodate two SRR G-1 cations and two camsylate anions. The formula unit volume of 737.9 Å³ calculated from the indexing results would be consistent with an anhydrous form with a calculated density of 1.451 g cm⁻³. The XRPD pattern also contains a small number of minor peaks that are not associated with SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A, the known polymorphs of the freebase, or (+)-(1S)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid. These additional peaks are highlighted in FIG. 30 with asterisks.

The solution ¹H NMR spectrum is consistent with a 1:1 stoichiometric salt of SRR G-1 and (+)-(1S)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid. Residual solvent is not evident, consistent with an unsolvated form.

Thermograms for SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A are provided in FIGS. 31A and 31B. Negligible weight loss up to 171° C. is evident by TGA, consistent with an anhydrous form. The DSC exhibits a sharp endotherm with an onset near 172° C. The event is likely due to a melt concurrent with decomposition.

The following describes a 750-mg scale procedure for generating SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A. Less than a molar equivalent (0.9), 0.43 g, of (+)-(1S)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid was added to a vessel containing a suspension composed of 0.86 g of SRR G-1 freebase Form A and 10 mL of ethyl acetate, providing a yellow suspension with a small amount of undissolved solids. Seeds of SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A were added and the suspension was sonicated causing immediate precipitation. The sample was sonicated for an additional ˜10 minutes and then left to slurry for approximately 1 hour. The white solids were recovered by vacuum filtration and rinsed with 2 mL of ethyl acetate followed by vacuum at room temperature overnight. Approximately 0.75 grams of SRR G-1 Camsylate Form A was obtained.

SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A

SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A is an anhydrous 1:1 stoichiometric salt with an apparent melt onset of 194° C. Based on XRPD results from an aqueous slurry, disproportionation of the salt does occur in water.

The XRPD pattern of SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A was successfully indexed, suggesting it is composed primarily of a single crystalline phase (FIG. 32). SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A has monoclinic unit cell that can accommodate four SRR G-1 cations and four napsylate anions. The formula unit volume of 707.3 Å³ calculated from the indexing results would be consistent with an anhydrous form with a calculated density of 1.457 g cm⁻³. The XRPD pattern also contains a small, weak peak near 4.4° (2θ) that is not associated with SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A, the known polymorphs of the freebase, or naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid.

The solution ¹H NMR spectrum is consistent with a 1:1 stoichiometric salt of SRR G-1 and naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid. Residual solvent is not evident, consistent with an unsolvated form.

Thermograms for SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A are provided in FIGS. 33A and 33B. Approximately 0.5% weight loss up to 193° C. is evident by TGA. The majority of the loss occurs above ˜100° C. Because organic solvent was not observed by NMR, discussed above, it is assumed the loss is due to the volatilization of approximately 0.2 mol/mol water. This suggests that the salt may exhibit limited hygroscopicity. The DSC exhibits a sharp endotherm with an onset near 194° C. The event is likely due to a melt concurrent with decomposition.

The possibility of disproportionation in water was investigated. SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A was slurried in water for 5 days. The excess solids were recovered and reanalyzed by XRPD for evidence of freebase or naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid. The recovered material was freebase Form A, indicating that disproportionation occurred under the condition evaluated.

The following describes a 600-mg scale procedure for generating SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A. Seeds of SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A and a molar equivalent, 0.39 g, of naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid was added to a vessel containing a suspension of 0.73 g of SRR G-1 freebase Form A and 9 mL of ethyl acetate. The yellow suspension with a small amount of undissolved solids was sonicated and a white precipitation occurred. The slurry was sonicated for an additional ˜5 minutes and the solids were then recovered by vacuum filtration, rinsed with 2 mL of ethyl acetate, and dried under vacuum at room temperature overnight. Approximately 0.63 grams of SRR G-1 Napsylate Form A was obtained.

Example 5: YUMM1.7 Proliferation Assay

YUMM1.7 cells were cultured for at least 1 passage after thawing and were cultured in DMEM with 5% FBS (Invitrogen) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic (gibco) at 37C 5% CO₂. Proliferation assays were performed by plating 15,000 cells in 12-well plates with 5 replicates per condition tested. Media and drugs were refreshed on Day 2. On Day 4, cells were trypsinized using 0.25 ml 0.05% Trypsin with EDTA (Invitrogen) for 5 minutes to detach from the plate, mixed with 0.75 ml of culture media, and counted using a hemocytometer.

The average cell count after 4 days of growth in a YUMM1.7 proliferation assay conducted with 500 nM of each composition are shown in Table 21. The same data is shown in graphical form in FIG. 34. Cell counts are in the tens of thousands (i.e. 100 is about 1,000,000). Starting cell numbers were 15,000. RSS G-1 had approximately the same number of doublings as the vehicle. Racemic G-1 reduced doubling to about half of that seen with the vehicle. Surprisingly, SRR G-1 reduced doubling to less than 1/10^(th) of that seen with the vehicle rather than just ¼ as would be expected from the reduction caused by G-1.

Example 6: Preclinical Rat Pharmacokinetic Results

Plasma concentrations of SRR G-1 free base, SRR G-1 besylate, and SRR G-1 napsylate in rats was determined after oral dosing. Three fasted, male rats were treated with 10 mg/kg SRR G-1 free base, SRR G-1 besylate, or SRR G-1 napsylate delivered orally as a suspension in 0.5% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 99.5% water. Plasma was isolated at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after SRR G-1 administration, and plasma concentrations were determined using LC-MS/MS.

ADME-Tox: In Vitro Absorption

Drug transporter (fluorometric inhibition)

The percent of control was calculated using the following equation. The percent of inhibition was calculated by subtracting the percent of control from 100. The IC50 value (concentration causing a half-maximal inhibition of the control value) was determined by non-linear regression analysis of the concentration-response curve using the Hill equation.

${{Control}\mspace{11mu} (\%)} = {\frac{{Compound} - {Background}}{{T\; 1} - {Background}}*100}$

Compound is the individual reading in the presence of the test compound. T1 is the mean reading in the absence of the test compound. Background (for P-gp and BCRP) is the mean reading in the presence of the highest effective concentration of the reference inhibitor. Background (for OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, and OCT2) is the mean reading in the absence of both the test compound and the substrate.
